Answer:
Mass of iron = 59.375 gm
Explanation:
Calories ( or joules) are added to the water by the hot steel so at the endpoint they are BOTH at 40 C
The water gains:
4.18 j/g-C * 50 * (40-30 C) = 2090 j
The steel gave up 2090 j going from 120 to 40 C
2090 = .44 j/g-C * m * (120-40) solve fro m = 59.375 gm
